[pulseaudio-discuss] PulseAudio, pcHDTV hd-5500 card, tvtime, and mythtv

[Trevan Richins]

Hello,

I'm attempting to use pulseaudio to play back sound from my hd-5500 tv
card (I use the analogue part of it) and I'm hitting a brick wall.

My /etc/asound.conf file is:

pcm.pulse {
    type pulse
}
ctl.pulse {
    type pulse
}
pcm.!default {
    type pulse
}
ctl.!default {
    type pulse
}


If I run the command "sox -c 1 -t alsa default -t alsa default", I hear
the TV sound correctly.  Opening up pavucontrol shows the sound bar
moving back and forth indicating that pulse is getting the sound.  But
if I run tvtime or MythTV, I don't get any sound.

I don't know if the problem is with pulseaudio, the card, or
tvtime/mythtv.  Any ideas on what I should do?
